There are bills filed in the state legislature that would make standard time permanent and other legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent all year round. Jack spoke with a state lawmaker who filed bills to do both.

Several bills have been introduced in Austin this year to end the twice-a-year clock change, but a majority of Texas lawmakers propose keeping daylight saving time (DST) year-round, which would require federal approval.

Like Texas lawmakers, Americans are split on whether they want to adopt standard time or daylight saving year-round. Nearly half say they would prefer to have standard time the entire year, and 24% say they would prefer daylight saving time all year, Gallup reported. The rest would prefer to keep the status quo.
